High Speed Atomic Force Microscopy Techniques for the Efficient Study of Nanotribology
, 2012 As mechanical devices scale down to micro/nano length scales, it is crucial to understand friction and wear at the nanoscale (nanotribology) especially at technically relevant sliding velocities. Accordingly, three novel techniques have been developed to
